OCC students are among the region's top for skill level, expertise and reliability. Employers can connect with our extraordinary talent pool by attending a career fair, posting a position, recruiting on campus or engaging with our students as a guest speaker or host. The OCC place of interns is to provide educational opportunities to students and offer professionalism, career readiness, industry best practices, and "day in the life" perspectives.
Why Faculty Should Mentor a Student Intern

About Us
You likely have more than one reason for attending college and investing in your education, but nearly all students have a goal of working in their field of study after graduation. Perhaps you entered college with a specific major and post-college job or career in mind.

That's where the Career Center comes in.
